Dawn  French will play Beatrix Potter

We've enjoyed her theatrics this spring in Trouble With Maggie Cole series, but British comedian Dawn French has something planned for the holidays already. She will star in THE TAIL OF THE CURIOUS MOUSE a holiday movie scheduled for December at Sky One, inspired by the true story of when a young Roald Dahl met his hero, Beatrix Potter. This is the official plot of the heart warming Christmas drama:

   With Beatrix coming to the end of her career and Roald aged only six and having recently lost his father and sister, this meeting of two literary legends was to have an enormous impact on the lives of both writers!

 As you know Roald Dahl is the writer of Fantastic Mr. Fox, James And The Giant Peach, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Matilda and The Big Friendly Giant, while Beatrix Potter wrote the famous adventures of Peter Rabbit!
